Chinese Banks Turn to AI for Job Interviews: Revolution or Red Flag?

It happened. AI is replacing humans, performing the roles previously considered untouchable such as HR. Chinese banks and large corporations are embracing AI-powered virtual interviews. This move raises controversy– a mix of praise and skepticism. 

Why do companies use AI HR? The numbers are compelling! No human HR is capable of conducting 2,500 interviews a day, while AI bot handles the task easily. It's never tired or pre-biased and evaluates only facts. The recruitment process is streamlined like never before! 

How does it work? Candidates interact with the bot after completing a written exam. Then follows a final, in-person interview with a company representative. The applicants download the app and connect at a scheduled time. 

How do candidates perceive it? I find it surprising that many embrace this change. As it turned out, people feel more relaxed with an AI interviewer! It lacks human judgement during the process. Thus, job interviews become less intimidating for them. 

Certainly, the experience isn't without its flaws. Tech glitches can arise during interviews and they cause frustration. Also, some applicants have criticized the bots for asking overly tricky questions designed to trap them.

Isn’t it fascinating to witness all this? Some people perceive it as revolution, while others think it’s a red flag. I think it can be both! Much depends on what people will do with it later.

Let's take a broader look at this problem. Can robots fully replace human HR? AI lacks the nuance, empathy, and judgment of a human interviewer. So, how can a person be evaluated holistically? AI can't yet replicate the human capacity to identify potential beyond what's on paper. I think that eventually companies will have to recognize the limitations of AI.
